Match #1
WWF Tag Team Championship
The Von Erich Brothers (Champions) vs. The Powers of Pain w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
Each time these teams have met we have had a wild brawl. Heenan’s team has come close to dethroning the Champions, but have come up just short. Kevin starts with the Barbarian. Kevin uses his quickness to stay away from the Barbarian’s power. Kevin gets a quick two count on a roll up, and Heenan yells about a quick count. The Warlord tags in, and goes to work on Kevin. The Texan is in trouble. He tags in Kerry, and the younger Von Erich tries to match strength with the monster. They match power moves, and finally both men end up on the floor. Heenan distracts Von Erich, and the Warlord beats referee Joey Marella’s count. The Powers of Pain win the match, but not the title.
Winners-The Powers of Pain (Count Out)
We see WWF President Jack Tunney seated at his desk.
Tunney, “Good evening wrestling fans. Fall is approaching, and that means ‘Survivor Series’. Thanksgiving night, November 23, ‘Survivor Series’ will return to the Richfield Coliseum in suburban Cleveland, OH. Teams of wrestlers, and tag teams will,do battle. Last year’s show was fantastic, and this year will be even better. If you can’t get to Richfield, contact your Pay per View provider.”

He puts up a good fight, but LeDuc begins head butting Brutus. Brutus is out. LeDuc covers him for the win. LeDuc looks unstoppable.

Okerlund, “With me are, the WWF Champion, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, and the lovely Miss Elizabeth. ‘Macho Man’, tonight you face King Kong Bundy, one of the most powerful men in the sport. This is not an easy task!”
Savage, “Being the Champion isn’t easy, no it’s not! Bundy is big, yes he is! King Kong, you’re falling off that building, yes you are! Ohhhhh Yeaaaaa!”
Okerlund, “Bundy challenges the ‘Macho Man’...next!”
Match #3

“Macho Man” Randy Savage (Champion) w/Miss Elizabeth vs. King Kong Bundy w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
Bundy, Heenan, and referee Earl Hebner wait in the ring. We hear,
Savage and Miss Elizabeth come to the ring. The Miami crowd goes crazy. Hebner calls for the bell, and we are underway. Savage wants a fast pace, Bundy a slower one. Savage is in control. He uses his athleticism to control the action. Heenan shouts instructions. Bundy is able to trap the Champion, and work him over. Now the Champion is in trouble. Elizabeth is worried. The crowd gets behind the “Macho Man”. He begins to rally. He fights his way out of the corner. He lands lefts, and rights. Bundy is in full retreat. Savage scoops him up, and slams the massive Bundy. Savage climbs to the top rope, and lands the big elbow. He covers Bundy, and Hebner counts the fall! As Hebner counts three, Ted DiBiase, Virgil, and Andre the Giant hit the ring, and attack Savage. They begin to work him over. Savage is in trouble. Suddenly, Hulk Hogan hits the ring! He and Savage clean house. DiBiase, and his goons leave the ring. The crowd goes crazy! Savage and Hogan are in the ring. They look at one another, and Hogan extends his hand. “Macho Man” shakes it! What a moment!
Winner-Randy Savage
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Savage, Hogan, and Miss Elizabeth.
Okerlund, “What a moment! Gentlemen, what happened?”
Hogan, “You know something ‘Mean Gene’, the Macho Man was in trouble, so the Hulkster stepped in to help!”
Savage, “The Macho Man can take care of himself, but tonight, I needed the Hulkster, yes I did! Million Dollar Man, Andre, you met your match! Ohhhhh Yeaaaaa!”
Okerlund, “The WWF landscape has changed!”

McMahon, “I knew you wouldn't! Fans, remember that ‘Survivor Series’ comes your way on Thanksgiving, and ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’ will return on January 6, 1989!”
